Rui Naiwei Leaving Korea

Post by trout »

Rui Naiwei(and her husband) is going to leave Korea and return to home.

She has contributed to boosting Korean woman's baduk to top level. I hope she finds happy life at home!!!!

Where is "home"? She was born and raised in China but moved to the USA before going to South Korea. If they are going back to China will it be safe politically? I thought Jiang Zhujiu left 25 years ago to escape political persecution.

John has suggested that the situation isn't so clear cut: http://lifein19x19.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 471#p27471, but I don't have anything to go on beyond his comments and the haziest of folklore.
